Finishing what Tengen started...

[Attezz]

Found it, someone point me in the direction of the list of pitchers being used and I'll grab all the info I can on them (pitch speeds, pitches, ratings, what-nots).

[Turd]

Here's the roster file, it updates as we update the ratings.

I'll try to start filling them in, at least the names.

[Gantry]

Going to do the Expos now...

[Gantry]

What did we decide on All Stars?  This Expos team has Raines & Galarraga, same stats or different?

[Attezz]

As it turns out, the guide doesn't have pitch speeds for a lot of guys, it does however include ever single pitch, so I would imagine a guy with your regular + a forkball/screwball you'd want to have more curve?

I'm creating a spreadsheet for it and adding any differentiating remarks (slow curve, hanging curve, sinking fastball, and so on), let me know if you want anything special done.

[Turd]

If you feel their stats warrant different ratings than the AS rating, by all means change it.

[Gantry]

OK I probably will, I tend to give more power than the predictions so...

Rangers done, Inky is a stud....

[TβG]

thanks guys for the help on the stats.

[Gantry]

No prob, doing the names and lineup is half the battle anyway. 

Really liking the community effort going on here, we get this onto carts it may be dee-nee's shining moment.

completely agree. I love that this ROM is being built by a bunch of people from De-née. It's been fun, and when we finally get it finalized, I myself would consider a cart, and I don't play consoles much anymore. Nice work everyone, this is exactly what I was hoping for.

[Stock]

can't you get some sort of teamwide error stat from baseball reference?

This is what I have done in the past.
Divide the team's fielding% by the average of all the teams.  Then multiply by 5 (or whatever number you want to be the average).

[Gantry]

I'll take the last two hitting teams and do them tonight after work, and I'll let you guys worry about the pitching

[Turd]

I've uploaded a very basic pitcher helper spreadsheet.  It's not meant to be a 100% accurate pitcher rater, but it should help you gauge their ability to strike out batters using the K/9 and help with curve values.  I could work up something for a base pitcher speed that we could use as well based on how good the pitcher actually is, but for now, this is all I have.

You have to enable the Macros it asks you to when you load it.  If you have macros set to be disabled by default, it might not even ask, so you have to go to "tools, options, security tab, macro security" and set it to Medium.

[Turd]

I think I gotta adjust that sheet though, as it would seem the K9 averages from back then are lower than they are today...

That will have to happen later...gotta jet for a bit...

[kahouty]

Hey guys let me in! I can help with whatevers left. I love this shit! Great job so far, lookin good. I tried to login, but I guess I need 'credentials' or something. Let me know what needs doin and I can do'er.


Thanks!

[Turd]

Kahouty, we basically have pitching left...what kind of info can you bring to the table?

[Turd]

Guys, for pitching, what do you think about this...let's get all the players names in there and then I'll gather all the stats up for all the pitchers using some fancy computer programming...

Once we have that, we can compare stats of all these players in a nice excel spreadsheet and use that to help rate them...

Would that be helpful?

[kahouty]

Pitching is my specialty, actually. No other way to describe it other than a thorough understanding of actual pitch physics and I grew up playing RBI with my brother and friends, so I understand the game engine/dynamics as well.


But theres the curve/sink factor depending on a particular type of pitch. Forkball vs Screwball, 2 seam vs 4 seam fastball etcetc and then match that to the real life quality of said Pitchers abilities, and translate it to the game.

All good though if you guys have it covered. Looks like I'm late to the party anyhow.

[Turd]

You are late to the party, but we're actually about to embark on the most difficult part of editing the game...if you want an account, PM me a desired password and I'll set you up.  Pitching knowledge will help immensely...

[Gantry]

There are still a few pitching rosters that need names filled in, a good way to start kahouty.   Thanks!

Expos are done - their bench was so bad I had to give a random guy "Reid Nichols" 800 power to keep them from sucking.
